The Redeyes are from the 120th Fight Squadron, 140th Fighter Wing at Buckley Air Force Base in Aurora, CO. This skin builds on the my earlier standard 120th livery, but this one seems to be a one-off special tail. Not sure yet as to the purpose, but it looks good so worth some time to offer something new.

Thanks RyboPops for your help. Enjoy!

Having recently joined the DCS community, I wanted to personalize my plane with a squadron that is close to home. The Redeyes from the 120th Fight Squadron, 140th Fighter Wing from Buckley Air Force Base in Aurora, CO.  I had created a skin for Falcon 4.0 some time ago and I wanted to have that available again here in DCS.  
Searching for the 120th on the DCS server, I did find one skin for the 120th, but I was disappointed in the quality, so I wanted to offer something better. Referencing the photos I've collected, I believe this livery is a more accurate representation of the CO ANG's Vipers.  Enjoy!

A Messerschmitt Bf 109 K4 based on a G6/AS unit 'Green 13', the personal mount of Kommodore Walter 'Gulle' Oesau of Stab./JG1 - Paderborn, Germany, May 1944.
It was whilst flying this machine that Oesau met his end, the details of which are not entirely historically clear.

The zip file contains both a censored AND uncensored version of the skin.

A tribute to the carpenters, furniture makers, seamstress/seam(ers?) and everyone else responsible for production of the famous Mosquito, 'The Wooden Wonder' as it became known as...

A Mustang MkIV (KH729) Y2 A - Squadron Leader Mitchell ‘Johnny’ Johnston 442 Sq. RCAF - RAF Digby (UK) June 1945.
Just extract the file and place it into your Saved Games>DCS.openbeta>Liveries>P-51D folder and BINGO!

The images have me dressed as Santa as the pilot. This is NOT the case in the actual .zipfile by the way! It was merely a way of me passing on Yuletide greetings. I wouldn't inflict ME on you as the pilot as it would probably end in tears!!
Have fun,

An I-16 'Ishak' (Donkey) or 'Rata' (Rat) in a pre-finished state with only the flight surfaces covered with linen. The fuselage is in it's pre-linen covered state of a coat of phenol-formaldehyde resin, this giving the normally light wood an orange-brown appearance.

Republic P-47D Thunderbolt 'Schmaltzie/Mercedes' of the 65th Fighter Squadron, 57th FG based in Corsica and Italy 1944-45.
Piloted by Lt. F. J. Middleton (pictured standing on the wing root of 'Little Bunny'), the crew chief was S/Sgt. L. Walker and the armourer was Cpl. S. Bauer.

P-47D 'Frigid Midgit'. Pilot 2nd Lt. Jack Hallett 394 FS 367FG St. Dizier France March 1945
The 'natural metal' of the wing sections was due to repair after 2nd Lt. Hallett crashed inbetween two trees after attempting to 'buzz' three of his Squadron who were crossing a small swing-bridge on their way to the airfield at St. Dizzier. He was test-flying a Thunderbolt as the 367th had only just received three of them for assessment prior to being assigned them to replace their P-38 Lightnings.
As Hallett himself said of the Thunderbolt (after only 45 minutes in it), "When you pulled back the stick in a P-38 the plane would go up whereas the P-47 had a much higher wing-load... I pulled back on the stick and the attitude changed but the altitude did not!". As he passed over the guys on the bridge he managed to crash the brand-new unit inbetween two trees. Hence the bare aluminium wings, fitted as a replacement for the ones he'd irrepairably damaged!
True story.

A pack of Mosquito skins made in the style of photographic reconnaissance PR.XVI aircraft of No. 140 Squadron, between June and July 1944, with unmarked skins as well as pre-baked aircraft codes for two aircraft ('P' and 'U').

Squadron and aircraft code letters can be hidden on the unmarked skins by replacing the code letters with --- in the mission editor.
